my 200th post! :D

anw, trng today was crazy!!!!
we had a 6km main set!

this is what we did-

2x(
3x400 on 5.30/5.20/5.10
3x300 on 4.00/3.50/3.40
3x200 on 2.40/2.30/2.20
3x100 on 1.40/1.30/1.20
)

it was so long and boringggg
and i have learnt 3 lessons from today:

1) it's not advisable to lead when you're the only one in your lane not using finzz (even if John tells you to)
2) it doesn't matter how fast people are without finz, with finz they're always faster than you (okay fine maybe not always, but most of the time)
3) using finz generates GIGANTIC waves.

seriously.
swimming when you're surrounded on all sides by people using finz is no joke.
not only that, it's DEMORALIZING.

and now i can finally say i know what it feels like to swim until your arms are numb!
really. that feeling is quite terrible.
you're just moving your arms round and round but you don't feel anything.
and you take like 5 secs (okay im just exaggerating but you get the idea) to tumbleturn cuz your muscles are so dead it requires so much energy to push yourself down and shove your legs over.
and when you FINALLY finish and reach the wall, your muscles are throbbing in protest.

and goodness me, i was SO HUNGRY.
while swimming, i was having hallucinations of food, glorious food!
(and to prove how much energy i used up, i was FULL before the set started)

hahaha.
wanting and i were so famished after that we walked all the way to the sports school hostel from the pool in our costumes to get food from the vending machine!
and people were staring but desperate times call for desperate measures. ha.
and the food! oh the food!
hahahaha Julie's peanut butter biscuits! 8)
i think i've never appreciated food that much in my life.
every bite was like heaven right wanting?? :D
and we both agree,
it was like a life-changing moment, biting into that biscuit.
waha! :D
but the food did the trick!
felt slightly more rejuvenated, 8)
though my arms and shoulders are sure to be stiff and sore tmr.. :/

and it doesnt help that we're doing 1500 fs/fly as warm up every morning for two whole weeks!
urgh! ):<

oh well.
zoo tomorrow!
and harry potter in the evening!
:D

You're coming back down
You don't have to tell me what you're feeling
I know what you're going through
I won't be the one that lets go of you
